Fabien, obviously you do again have a different opinion about these points than I have. I fixed STR 2063. That was a complete work. Complete! Until you came and thought that you needed to revert it for no real reason. After you showed that you could not give a proof that this xutf8 Makefile is used in the build process, I decided to complete my work (again) and fixed and closed STR 2063. That's one thing. And that's all I wanted to do, and I did it (last saturday, IIRC). Then you came and brought the xutf8 Makefile into the discussion. *This* discussion is still open, and I told you and others my opinion about it, and I waited for consensus about it. And I'm not willing to start working on the utf8 part, because (a) Matthias is still working on it, and (b) because I don't know enough about it. And for that same reason I didn't want to remove that Makefile. Maybe someone wants to use it as a reference later. If you are confused by it, feel free to remove or rename it. But this has nothing to do with my fix. If we decide (at any time later) to rearrange the xutf8 files, then my change may become obsolete, but until then it is better to have it than not to have it. This is a team work, and everybody who works here does it in his spare time, and so do I. Therefore YOU can not tell ME, what MY work is, and if it is complete or not. My opinion is that it _is_ complete, and yours is different. You must learn to accept that others have different opinions than you. Again: I wanted to fix STR 2063, I did it, and that work WAS complete. You reopened it for no real reason, and YOU wasted MY time. You also reverted my change without understanding what it was good for, and without asking me before you did it. That was very rude. End of discussion, I don't want to waste more time with this.
